The Aquasport 246 OEM Replacement Fuel Tank (often referred to as Aquesport) by Welding World is precision-engineered to restore the long-range blue-water capability, structural integrity, and original cockpit balance of your classic center-console hull. Masterfully fabricated from heavy-gauge, marine-grade 5052-H32 aluminum, this high-capacity 105-gallon center-hull fuel cell features a specialized low-profile configuration designed to optimize bilge space while achieving a flawless, 100% drop-in fit within the narrow central stringer grid. To shield the structural assembly against the extreme risks of pitting and crevice corrosion caused by trapped bilge water, the entire body is fully encapsulated in a premium, anti-corrosive black TarGard epoxy coating. Inside the tank, an engineered network of internal baffle plates suppresses violent fuel surging during heavy offshore tracking, maintaining continuous fuel delivery and optimal lateral stability in rough seas. The flat top deck arrives completely pre-plumbed with heavy-duty mechanical hardware, featuring a precision-welded fuel fill neck, an integrated tank ventilation line, a KUS electronic fuel level sending unit, and high-flow brass 90-degree pickup elbows configured to mirror the factory plumbing geometry perfectly. Built to comfortably satisfy or exceed all NMMA, ABYC, and USCG safety specifications, this rugged replacement tank ensures an uncompromised, seamless installation for demanding offshore performance.

Due to this item's size and weight we can only ship it in an economical way via Less Than Truckload (LTL) consolidated land shipping, and only to the contiguous 48 States.

All of the destinations above we can only serve as a Free Carrier (or FCA) modality, that requires the customer to contract and pay for their carrier service of choice. We can still ship the item, but only to a warehouse/receiving office within the 48-contiguous States.
In plain terms what this means is that if you want to ship your product to any non-contiguous US territory or internationally, you, the customer, has to provide us with the warehouse address of the carrier that serves your locality with an address within the contiguous 48-US States, as we do not ship overseas on our own.
